Re: So psyched!

Depends on how fast they grow. I've seen people use various ways of telling, from weight to size, but generally they all seem to say about the same thing. You feed prey that's about equal to the width of the snake at the largest part. Some say up to 1.5x larger than that part of them. They can handle a lot. I've been feeding mine two pinkies every Wednesday but I've been considering changing it. Either one pinky on Wednesday then one on Sunday or two Wednesday and one Sunday or just keeping it as is. I'm still getting a feel for things.

Re: So psyched!

No problem. It's best to look around and get an idea of what others do and figure out what works best for you. Much of pet care is what works best for you and your pet rather than what every body seems to think. There are definite wrong ways of doing things but multiple right ways too.
